I would think no car beats a toyota prius in consuption, with my own experience the car preseves the braking energy in the battery when doing downhill and uses it uphill. An example is driving to nakuru whereby from fryover around kinungi to nakuru you can run on battery alone zero litres and engine off.

I only need 3ltrs to drive from nairobi city centre to limuru and back.

I'm checking out this site and Subarus seem to be upping their game in terms of fuel efficiency. I think Kenyans are too miffed with Toyotas

Stats for the 1.4 TDI Polo are quite good.

Also UK (imperial) mpg is not the same as US mpg. I find it easier to do calculations in km/l or l/km

... well, not exactly.

Better still, take lessons from this Kibe Kamunyu guy who drove a 2,000cc Alfa Romeo 156 from Westlands to Naivasha on only 1.75L of fuel... 48km/L!!!

He should start an Efficient Driving School...

that's possible especially if u use the Narok road...u can even switch off the car and just roll downhill.

Heather Peters says her car never came close to getting the promised 50 miles per gallon, and as its battery deteriorated, it was getting only 30 mpg. She wants Honda to pay for her trouble and the extra money she spent on gas.

For Auto trans, go for the latest electrical actuated clutch-system vis-a-vis the hydraulic coupled.
The newshape premio D4 (2005 and up)is one such car, quite economical but Onyango will spoil it the moment you take it to him on the his roadside kiosk!

Here we go again praising Toyotas! Have you driven a Honda Insight? 1.0L, 3cyl engine producing almost the same power as a prius. The consumption though, is also similar.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

@mukiha A toyota prius hybrid has 1.5ltr engine, on accerelation it combines the battery stored power and the engine.
You may compare it with honda hybrid which has a slightly better efficiency than a prius. i have only seen one honda hybrid in kenya.

Insight is also hybrid, with a smaller engine - 1.0L, 3cylinder
